70. so I cheated & looked it up because ...Carl Hiaasen
Mon Mar 20, 2023, 11:30 AM
Mar 2023

I love his books and have read most of them. I am not going to tell the title because I cheated though.

The book this is based on is one of his YA books; I've read it and really liked it. It's typical Hiaasen with an assortment of bizarre characters, and the equally bizarre setting of Florida.

Those familiar with Hiaasen's books will recall a certain former governor of Florida who turns up frequently. I can't remember if he is in this book, but if he is and he isn't in the film I do not think I want to watch it. He is one of the most colorful and interesting characters I have ever encountered.

I do know he is in at least one of the YA books.

We purchased the book for our son, and I enjoyed it immensely. Tim Blake Nelson's performance was totally memorable, and he kinda, sorta transitioned from a bumbling bad guy to a good guy; the bachelor and the model rode happily into the sunset.

Skink is in at least one of the YA books.

Now I will have to find the movie!!!

I have only seen one movie based on a Hiaasen book:
Strip Tease. It doesn't veer too far from the story, and thank goodness the antics of the ex-husband are in the movie and absolutely hilarious. The splinting of his broken arm just has to be seen - there is no describing it.

I'll have to chase down Strip Tease. I had no clue any of Hiaasen's books had been made into films.

If you like Hiaasen, you might like Tim Dorsey. Set in Florida, and his main character is a hoot, albeit a selective serial killer. It's an upside world when you can root for a serial killer.

There are no spoilers in this wiki entry, but perhaps knowing a bit about Serge A. Storms will help you understand what motivates him in Dorsey's crazy novels.

22. Jules Verne's Passepartout (goes everywhere) was a French valet
Sat Feb 18, 2023, 01:31 PM
Feb 2023

In the film, Passepartout was played by the huge Mexican comedic actor and pioneering movie star, Cantinflas (think Charlie Chaplin). Apparently, while being the glue that held the movie together, he also made a boatload of money

While David Niven was billed as the lead in English-speaking nations, Cantinflas was billed as the lead elsewhere. As a result of the film, Cantinflas became the world's highest-paid actor.

I'm sure I saw it in early childhood.

Coincidentally, I saw it on the shelf at my local library and thought about borrowing it.

I think I'll do that.

I was interested to see that 'passepartout' can refer to a 'masted key' or to a photo taped between glass and cardboard.

I vividly remember the scene of the balloon passing the Alps, and Passepartout scooping an armload of snow from the peak to cool their celebratory champagne.

but I sort of cheated... when I answered the question about Martin Weir, that made me realize I hadn't watched that movie in a long while, so I watched it last night and... of course, the incomparable Rene Russo was Karen Flores... I sort of knew it but sort of didn't.

Apparently it didn't do so well at the box office.


There's plenty of saucy on-liners in it and it'll be a regular must rewatch movie for me.

This might not be the same one, but in the Swedish film "Ådalen '31," one of the main characters was named Harald Andersson, which might have been anglicized to Harold Anderson.

Virgil playing the cello in the marching band was really funny. My high school band was hired for the scene, and they actually made enough dough to buy marching uniforms: Stylish blue blazers and red berets, Tamalpais High School colors.

Filmed in downtown San 420 Rafael, California




Oh I was taking driver training during that summer, and my instructor, a teacher at the high school and a SAG card member was cast in the chain gang alongside Woody Allen, so we had to schedule our instruction around the shooting schedule.

It's not Take the Money and Run, but that was a good one! One of the first proto-mockumentaries.

This one is right up there with his best... more of a fake biography than a mockumentary, though it does have it's moments.
